Yes, I am back!!!
These are the RF4s based at Magalies Gliding Club west of Johannesburg - one of the larger gliding clubs in RSA.
They visited our home club at Springs to the east of Johannesburg the other week when we have our annual flyin with FREE breakfast for all.
We served in excess of 160 full English to a motley bunch of pilots.
I am happy to report that after a long pregnancy our beloved RF4 ZS-UEZ took to the skies on her test flight last Saturday.
News and pics to follow.

Thanks Bob. Recovering is at a standstill because the temperature is too low. ( -20C ! )

Your picture of the old school prompted me to visit the school website where I learned that I was at school with Lord Voldemort! In fact it looks like he (well Ralph Fiennes) was a student in the lower school at a time I was a prefect in the upper!

Of course, winter has come with a vengeance in the N Hemisphere.
I've had to erect a plastic tent within my garage to be able to work on my project.
I can get the temp up to 15°C but not much higher, so no glueing, but I am able to four hours of other small jobs daily.

Meanwhile I made a very interesting but frustrating Fournier flight last week.
More to come, Bob

How extraordinary Steve,
you actually had a chance to stop Lord Voldemort in his tracks? We had a very invigorating session at the Harry Potter-land at the Universal Studios in Florida a week ago were these young wizard apprentecies learned their spells and I bet the force of their combined wands would have stopped him in his tracks!! Sofi and cousins August and Lillian sends their Best and cast their spells for uninhibited Fournieristics for everyone during 2018!!
